Silverthorne Breweries & Tap Rooms – Take a Tour
Silverthorne Breweries – A Refreshing and Easy to Access Social Scene
by Holly Battista-Resignolo
The Town of Silverthorne has been going through a robust revitalization which has now taken shape as a basecamp for adventure in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. This vibrant town offers Nordic skiing, ice skating, hiking, biking, and watersports, but also has a bustling arts, culture, and dining scene to satisfy anyone’s interests.
This bustling community has a lot on tap and some sparkles and shimmers in the crisp mountain air. You won’t have to go far to find a warm welcome and refreshing beverage as you hit the town and discover the area’s offerings.
Brews and Beverages
Angry James
One of the First!
In late January 2018, Angry James was born on 421 Adams Ave in Silverthorne. They were the first to begin brewing in the heart of Silverthorne as the town’s revitalization began. AJ and Darcy Brinckerhoff are not angry in the traditional sense. They like to think of ‘Angry’ as ‘passionate’ or ‘alive,’ just like the beers they craft. Their nomination as one of the Top 5 Best Beers in Summit County is a testament to their flavorful brews.
You will love their love for beer. Head in to taste their Colorado spin on beer with a wide selection of hand crafted ales and lagers.
